10 years ago I used to watch Hardball regularly and enjoyed it. Over that time, however, Chris Matthews has changed dramatically. He is now so far
to the crazy end of the left that I can't even begin to understand him. He is totally nuts (IMHO). I used to watch Olberman as well but he is even
worse. Maybe there is some kind of toxin in the DC water supply ----

Wow, Matthews used to be a respected newsman, Wow!!!!
I hesitate to call him a loon, but he knows exactly what he's doing.
Jones is right, I dont dare criticize Obama at work, because there would be 10 people around me calling me a racist within minutes.

it is why he was put to run, to win and have complete control. something like this was going to happen, they republicrats need to demolish our checks
and balances, any way possible.

what it sounds like to me is that politicos supporting Obama is taking a page from the Israel playbook. Whenever someone tries or does criticize you
you just say their are racist, really it's becoming like the Salem witch trails over here.

Soon as someone says something you disagree with, you just say they are racist, it seems to work for both sides.

That's beside the point, it sounds like chris matthews is just diverting the conservation. what the hell does the presidents wife need 26 aides!
That is bureaucratic BS, and optimizes how grossly obese this government has gotten. I can see the need for some, but damn 26.

Oh man, this guy believes in his heart of hearts that he is always right. How dare anybody disagree with him. In Chris Matthew's eyes, he is god. And
he uses those godly powers to defend everything Obama-related, because Obama is his god. I guess that means Obama is god's god. And Matthews is
rewarded for his devout, extreme worship of his deity with that tingling feeling in the leg which Mr. President gives him...

Alex Jones is absolutely right on this. It bothers me that these people on the news CREATE racism. Truth be told, most republicans do not care about
his race, and more indifferent on this fact that the democrats.

I truley want to slap Chris Mathews over and over while yelling "Stop it, just stop it" in his face.

Everytime I see this guy on news or the TV he just pisses me off with his biased, and propaganda politics. Even Hannity is more bearable at this point
than that man.

I can't help but jump into this thread as I saw that video early this afternoon. It amazes me that their are people who actually watch MSNBC
(thinking their intelligent) unless it's simply for comical reasons and even then I personally couldn't take it as I need smarter humor.

Now, I've said it before that I got so tired of not getting the news expected but instead was getting a constant bickering between Fox & MSNBC and
racial bias from CNN so I simply canceled my cable/satalite subscripton and use multi Alt news resources online to get my news and honestly I am so
much better off for it.

Alex Jone for me is a lot like listening to Michael Savage, I can take them 3 out of 4 hours a day because of their rants and childish emotional plea
that they are fighting the good fight. But I do admire their direct message of getting the truth out about the deception of both political paradox.

Now to the point of the Chris Matthew's statement that those who criticize Mr. Obama or the Obama's period are racist. The truth of the matter is
calling somebody racist equates today to the same as calling somebody a rapist even if they are falsely accused.

Your reputation is forever questioned and your motives distrusted! It is simply and disgustingly wrong!

Matthews' brain has certainly turned to mush. Someone got to him in a bad way regarding his fascination with and school girl crush on Obama. I
just wonder what TPTB have on him. Surely, he can't really be this stupid.

I suspect that someone has pics. of Chris wearing ladies underwear in a DC drag club.

Hopefully the quote isn't too long - but here ya go. It seems to have been proceeded by talk of secession in Texas

MATTHEWS: Let‘s take a look at the man the other day, what we saw at a rally in Texas, to show that this has fire power, what the governor of
Texas was talking about. People are out there at the Capitol steps pushing for secession. Let‘s watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is not comprised of people willing to allow Barack Obama and his government to tax us into bankruptcy, while Michelle Obama
and her 26 aides live it up on our dime.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MATTHEWS: Wow. Let‘s go to Wayne Slater right now, who is joining us. Also Jonathan Martin of “Politico.”

First of all, Wayne, you‘re doing there. Is this secessionist movement nonsense or what?

WAYNE SLATER, “DALLAS MORNING NEWS”: Well, they certainly don‘t think it‘s nonsense. The people who are involved are dead serious about it.
They would like to establish their own country. But there aren‘t a whole lot of these people.

The thing that they share with a larger conservative Republican constituency in a place like Texas is an anti-Washington sentiment. So you have Rick
Perry talking about Washington, state‘s rights, state sovereignty, secession. It‘s something he wants to use to fire up the base, to beat Kay
Bailey Hutchison next March.

MATTHEWS: Let me go to Jonathan Martin on this. It seems to me, when I heard people going after the First Lady and the number of staff people they
have, it sounds racist to me. It sounds like people are mad we have a black first lady.

JONATHAN MARTIN, “POLITICO”: There‘s no question that is part of it, Chris, with a certain element in the conservative base in Texas. Just the
fact that we have a black president and obviously a black first lady angers a lot of people in this country. That is sort of compounded with the
other, more legitimate, policy-based disagreements that folks have with Washington right now.

That seems to be the end of it- no more talk of it that I found in the transcript. Of course, that is bad enough. He's planted the seed that if
person doesn't think she needs 26 aides that makes them racist.
